I WANT SO BADLY TO HELP PEOPLE
-BUT I ALWAYS SEEM TO BE THE BAD PEOPLE?

BAD
APPLE

inked

Everything I would say, I've said before the mast
taken my fifty lashes, and put them in the past

Punishments and transgressions, upon ship, battlefield
my trespasses, may deliberate, but all of them, are real

Scars and wounds not evident, at least not, for all to see
poison fruit and poisoned products, from a poisoned tree

A bad apple, always falls, never really far
revealing just what, and who, we really are
